Deciding on a product to use for this challenge was an easy one for Mel. The Pink Paislee stickers caught her eye as soon as they were released at CHA and therefore the hardest decision for Mel was going to be narrowing down which range to use for her projects (fascinating, fetching, enchanting or captivating).

Each sticker book is made up with three pages including a sheet of alphabets, embellishments and beautiful decorative strips that can be kept whole or cut up into smaller pieces for projects. The alphabet sheet also includes a generous amount of numerals, plus a few mini brackets, stars and various other small designs.

For this layout Mel has used the sticker strips and cut them up in various sizes to edge the outside of the photo. At Easter time Mel made some small felt finger puppets to use in their home made puppet theatre and the lovely orange and blue tones of the Fetching Sticker Book worked so nicely with the photo that it seemed like the perfect picture to show off the sweet stickers in the book.

The title was created by using the alpha stickers included and Mel also added the year onto the left hand side of the photo with some matching numerals. A larger embellishment (from the first sticker sheet inside the book) was added to the right of the photo and a chipboard embellishment (Technique Tuesday, Classic) was placed over this, after being sprinkled with some orange crush glitter (pixee stix). To set the glitter in position a thin layer of dimensional magic was trickled over at the end.

 

For this page Mel has used several of her left over camping photos and added them in a cluster on top of the diecut (Little Sprout, Stuffed). Because there were several photos, numeral stickers (Fetching sticker book) were the perfect solution for numbering the photos and adding corresponding text for each picture on the bottom section of the layout.

A sweet door was added to the treehouse by using an embellishment sticker and like the first layout, sticker strips were cut into small pieces to finish off the page.

 

Mel's daughter Bella is constantly drawing pictures with different mediums and although she has quite a few store bought drawing books that are used over and over, Mel started thinking about creating her a really special hand made version. Something simple where the pages could be increased when needed and also a design that was pretty, interesting and could stand being possibly trodden on, left on the floor to gather dust and more than likely squished into a school bag.

The base was created with a Teresa Collins bracket shape chipboard cover and down the spine Mel used another sticker strip from the book. {draw} being the title, was included with the alphabet stickers and those little dots were a mix of bling and the leftover circles from another sticker strip. Holes were then drilled in the side of the drawing book and sheets of nice, thick paper were added inside (cut to size).

As you can see the sweet sticker book has stretched very easily across Mel's three projects and there are plenty of stickers left over for future layouts as well!!

A bumper inspiration post chock full of fabulous examples of the latest Pink Paislee ranges.  Enjoy!

 

 

The Pink Paislee Fascinating collection was one of Nic Howard's favourites from the recent releases. Nic started her layout by creating a base from the box she received her products in - she loved the grungy kraft look and knew it would go well with the black and red of the Fascinating range.

Nic layered some cut-outs from the irresistible paper along with some of the chipboard elements to create a gorgeous cluster embellishment to the left side of her photo montage. Strip journaling finishes this bold Pink Paislee layout.

 

 

Caz fell in love with the soft colours of the Enchanting range from Pink Paislee. They can form a lovely unobtrusive background to a photo with strong colours in it as she has used here, but would work equally as well with black and white or even sepia photos. Who would have guessed that the range would go perfectly with the Sultry Chip Stickers from Basicgrey!

Caz has teamed up a chipboard stem with a gorgeous Pink Paislee Petal flower and a designer brad to create her main accent. The Sticker Book is great value as it has 3 pages which include border stickers, accent stickers, and a whole sheet of tiny alphabet stickers that are very versatile.

 

The fun prints and divine colours of the "Fetching" range drew Nicole in right away. The perfect mix of modern yet vintage, bright plus grunge lends itself to many many applications.

Here Nicole has used the die-cut border from the "Confident" paper as a lower border and layered it with the chipboard letters from the range and elements from the "Fetching" sticker book. She finished off with a few "Fetching" rub-ons and added her journalling onto a custom made block.

 

   

Suz created this layout using a mixture of the Fetching and Enchanting ranges to show off a range of techniques at the recent SIA trade show.   It shows how well the ranges work together as well as separately, and what beautiful backgrounds they make to showcase your own creativity.

Suz has used grungeboard elements, Jenni Bowlin Crepe Paper Ribbon to make the flowers, as well as rubons from the Been There Done That ‘Tasmania’ sheet to embellish her page.

 

A big thankyou to Danielle Flanders for allowing is to show some of her gorgeous work featuring Pink Paislee products. Here she has combined several Pink Paislee lines: Pop Fashion, Captivating, Fascinating and Enchanting. Her daughter Kati discovered the 3-way mirrors one day in their bathroom, it was so cute to see her little poses when she didn't think Danielle was looking. She kept saying, "look at all the Kati's!"

 

 

 

Danielle used a masking technique on the background by using the backing from the chipboard as a mask. She added stamping ink over the top of the mask to create this fabulous page.

 

        

In this layout of her sweet daughter Kati, Danielle has used Pink Paislee from the new lines Fascinating, Enchanting and Captivating. Sticker letters are Fashion Script sticker letters in black and rub on butterfly is Pop Fashion Press Ons.

 

 

In this gorgeous layout, Danielle combined some Pop Fashion and Sweet Cakes papers, along with Tinsel Town stamps and press-ons all by Pink Paislee.

 

This artwork created by Katie Watson for the Pink Paislee blog caught our attention as something different and incredibly inspiring. Katie has used an old frame, sanded it back, painted it white and added leftover press-ons around it's edge. She then added a beautiful layout created with a variety of Pink Paislee product, notably Vintage Moon and Fascinating. Thanks for letting us share!

 

 

Carole created this cute little round box using the gorgeous Pink Paislee Captivating Collections, with its gorgeous blues and browns and Carole also used the Spring Fling Clear Stamps.

 

 

Thank you to the ladies of the Pink Paislee blog for letting us share more of the gorgeous artwork there. These tags were created by Melissa Phillips, it's always fun to see something different created with the products! Melissa mentions that they are a good way to use up leftover supplies after creating a layout. These tags are made mostly with the Captivating collection, one of the new releases from Pink Paislee at the recent CHA 09 show.

weekend inspiration: pink paislee

 

Caz loves the beautiful soft colours and subtle patterns in these Pink Paislee papers. She cut out the tree from the Tree House paper and added the gorgeous Love You More flower brads as blossoms on the tree. The tree is then encircled by the Live Out Loud overlay.

Her daughter Jordan is definitely the quietest of all her children yet as the quote suggests - she chooses to live out loud in the fabulous pictures she constantly draws and leaves all over the house. Her quirky nature is usually overshadowed by her more boisterous siblings but when it comes out, Caz is quick to capture it on film.

  

The Topsiders shapes are FANTASTIC - as you can see here Jaimie has used little else to create this lovely page. By cutting away the excess chipboard and then piecing the shapes together like a jigsaw puzzle Jaimie has put together a pretty corner frame for her photo.

  

Jaimie has used the Vintage Moon Overlay over her background paper as, she says that the detail on them will make it seem that you have spent hours on your page. The cute little owl was handcut from two sheets of Night Owl paper and layered on top of each other with foam tape to give dimension. What a very cute page.

 

For this layout Mel has combined patterned papers from the Spring Fling range and adhered them to the top of chipboard circles (Technique Tuesday), slightly sanding the edges. The circles have then been used to emphasis the bounce theme of the layout by layering them on a sheet of Spring Fling Green Lace.

To add some extra interest and shine to the page, Mel has framed the photograph inside a chipboard frame (Technique Tuesday, Technique Tiles, Classic), lightly brushing the chipboard with an inkpad and then adding two layers of clear embossing powder.

 

 

 

Nicole used Pink Paislee's gorgeous Pop Fashion range on this sweet layout of her daughter Madeleine. She started with a base of foiled spots then layered the scallop over the top before finishing with embellishments from Pink Paislee's Office lingo range and Fashion Script letters. She used the foiled rub-ons to partially block out the patterned paper under her title and found that the metallic chipboard by Heidi Swapp was the perfect match!

This little cards was created by Carole, using the gorgeous range of Pink Paislee Spring Fling, some cute little elements created for this card.

 

 

The following projects come directly from the Pink Paislee DT themeselves! A big thankyou to the girls at PP for allowing us to showcase your work along with our own talented girls.

Michelle Clement used the new Paislee letter stickers combined with rub-ons to create interest to her title. Michelle says for a vintage look, pull the rubon up halfway and rub haphazardly to make sure you don’t get the whole rub-on down. She then outlined her letters with black pen to make them stand out. Thanks Michelle your technique will be one we cant wait to try.

Mara May Baca created this beautiful page of her and her new baby - Mara says that even though these photos are less than perfect she couldnt wait to scrap as soon as she saw them on her computer she fell in love with them. For her scrapbooking is all about memories, everyday life, love, togetherness and whatever your heart says it is. We totally agree with you Mara - beautiful words and a beautiful page.

This sweet layout by Kathie Link cleverly showcases Vintage Moon patterned papers and an overlay which has been positioned directly over the photograph. We loved the simplicity of the page and the gorgeous photo of Kathie's little boy at 32 months.

  

Another beautiful layout shared by Kathie Link. This one utilises the bright and funky papers in the Office Lingo range and the series of photos across the front of the page are simply delightful. Notice the placement of the flowers and embellishments, gently following the curve of the circle to complete the layout.

Nicole Harper says that the Vintage Moon range is her favourite release from Pink Paislee so far. Using the transparent overlay Nicole has created this very pretty and striking page with minimal effort or fuss. Nicole says that all she did was lay it on top of a sheet of Full Moon paper for her base.

The flowers are hand-cut from the Moon Pie paper and being that she has never met a striped paper she didn’t love, Nicole added just a touch of the scalloped edge MoonRakers paper along the edge. A splash of paint, sewing title and simple journaling and this page is finished. So easy and so beautiful.  

Linda Albrecht created this gorgeous Autumn project using the new Topsiders. Linda says that there are so many possibilities for using them and she actually used both the negative part of the sticker image because she had used that one for another project. Linda layered it onto some of the patterned paper then onto some chipboard and cut around the little border that remains once you pull out the Topsider sticker. It’s like getting 2 for 1!

weekend inspiration: pink paislee

Carole Janson went to town with her Pink Paislee projects, creating us three very different results.  Her first one is this simply gorgeous mini 'Welcome' free standing canvas.  She has combined both the Office Lingo and Spring Fling patterned papers to create this paper-pieced extravaganza.

 

 

 

Using the Pink Paislee Office Lingo Diecuts and Pattern Papers, Carole has created a fun and funky layout, that has captured the fun of her daughter Sarah.

Carole used the Pink Paislee Office Lingo Overlay as the background for her layout.  She added the scalloped circle to the back of the overlay and then created the rest of her layout on the front.   Carole made a window from the circle on the Pink Paislee Office Lingo overlay and created an embellishment from that.  She also added some Dimensional Paint around the overlay, and added a little glitter to finish off.

 

 

  

 

 

Spring Fling was Carole's favourite range in the Pink Paislee papers - the red, green and blues look gorgeous together.   Carole loved the overlay in this range, with the little tree, and she created some 3 Dimensional flowers in front of the overlay and set part of the tree behind the overlay.   She then created some three-dimensional flowers and finished the project off with red stitching.

Carole also added some white dimensional paint to the centre of the flowers on the tree.

 

 

  

Suz also shows off the Spring Fling papers in this layout of her gorgeous boy.  The greens and turquoises really do work together to stunning effect with even on more simple layouts!  Suz has covered new Technique Tuesday Technique Tiles 12x12 chipboard - these shapes are both versatile and gorgeous but Suz reckons the best bit about them is the edges - because they're a creamy white all the way through the chipboard you don't have to ink (or try to ignore) the ugly raw edges.

 

We thank some of the Pink Paislee Designers for the following images of stunning projects providing us with even more inspiration using these patterned papers, transparencies, die cuts and alphas!

 

 

 

Anabelle O'Malley is no stranger to our blog and here she shares a special sparkly layout using the Office Lingo line and combines it with gorgeous results with some of the new Queen & Co felt.  She has glittered and blinged to her hearts content and we love the result!

 

 

Davinie Fiero celebrates stitching and the Office Lingo patterned papers in this gorgeous layout of her little princess. 

 

 

Michelle Clement has stunned us here combining the orange of the Office Lingo line with the teal of Hambly Screen Prints woodgrain alongside that scrumptious tree from the Spring Fling range.  Love this colour combination!

 

 

 

 

 

    

Finally, Roree Rumph has created this wonderful mini-album with graduating bracket shaped pages.  The papers in the Office Lingo line are bright and happy and the perfect foil for these bright photos.
